[QUOTE="Jache, post: 796215, member: 158397"] Thanks everyone for the replies. Then I am glad my current doctor is going to test me for T1. Based on my profile, I think there is a good chance that late onset T1 is what I have... I have been trying to eat less carbs (or at least less obvious carbs) but somehow my blood sugar numbers are still not ideal. Eg, when I consumed only home cooked Tom Yum soup, fish, cauliflower and fried leafy veggies, my blood sugar still rose from 5.5 (before meal) and 7.1 2 hours after. When I consumed a mushroom salad with Feta cheese and rocket and chick peas, my blood sugar rose from 4.7 to 5.9. Shouldn't it be that if I ate so little carbs, the rise in blood sugar should be less? Do such figures indicate that I have Type 1.5? Ian, yes I have been reading the posts on this Forum, and lately the Type 1.5 forum especially. Initially I was terrified at the idea of possibly having T1, but after reading the posts of the folks here, I am comforted that it CAN be managed with effort. At this moment, it is just honestly very frustrating to try so hard to lower intake of carbs, which in turn causes me to lose weight which I don't want to lose, and yet still not be able to "control" my blood sugar levels or have them reach the ideal levels. My fasting blood sugars have usually been 5 plus, and my post meal 2 hours later has usually been above 5.5 I kind of feel like giving up sometimes since nothing seems to be working, but I feel more hopeful just browsing this forum. Hoping and praying that I am able to control this one day, if nothing then for the sake of my 2 little ones. They are the ones that have been keeping me motivated. Again, appreciate all your replies :) [/QUOTE]
